Thin-wall EMT metal conduit routes wire and cable in general purpose applications. Also known as electrical metallic tubing, this lightweight conduit helps create smooth, continuous raceways for faster wire pulling than heavy-wall RMC or medium-wall IMC metal conduit. Conduit walls bend with a conduit bender, and this type of conduit may be cut with a hacksaw. Since it’s not as strong as RMC or IMC conduit, it’s ideal for installations along building walls and ceilings away from high-traffic areas. EMT conduit uses fittings to join pieces of conduit together, or to join them to enclosures and devices.
